ITT: Post your life stories.

I'm 20 years old and have recently returned from backpacking in Indochina (was there 3months). I want to go back and explore some more countries, but it's easier said than done. Parents are against it. Inb4 im 20 I can do what I want... the thing is, I respect their opinion but I'm not sure whether I should listen to them.

I start with uni in mid-september and will have very little time for travel in the next 5years :/ (it's very hard to go study abroad at my uni) . I have nothing to do until mid-september. I can alternatively go work something...

Anyway.. I want to hear your stories. How have you dealt with travel, studying and work? How old are you? What have you done in your life? What you would change if you could? I need some ideas.
